A wonderful step forward has been made
for Christianity In China by the voluntary
declaration on the part of the government in
favor of religious tolerance. The authorities
issued proclamations calling on the people to

converts, and explaining that the Christian
religion teaches men to do right. and should
therefore be respected. The proclamation
reminds them that by becoming converts to
Christianity they do not cease to be Chinese.

tons, "all men of whatsoever sort or condi-
ton that the sole object of establishing chap
els Is to exhort men to do right; those who
embrace Christianity''do not ~cease,to be Chi

tinue to live in peace aud not let mutual jeal-
ousies be the cause of strife between them. ,
